    Talking New to hunting, advice required :)

    Hi all, really nice to be in a great forum of like minded people.

    I am currently looking at obtaining an "all round rifle" (yes I know no such beast exists) I initially focused on a 6.5x55 swede, however I would love to enter some comps that shoot out to 1km and short of building a custom rig, I was eyeing up the savage arms model 111 long range hunter chambered in 6.5x284. granted the factory ammo for this is not only expensive but probably pretty rubbish. Have any of you had any experience with this calibre? I'm not too keen on something that's going to dislocate my shoulder every time I fire it.

    Thoughts and suggestions would be welcomed.

    Cheers,

    Chris.
